One Night In Linden - Eta Carina, Omega Centauri

Well this is my fourth attempt at astrophotography and I'm finally happy. Even though it was 3/4 moon last night the skies were a hell of a lot darker than anything I could get in Bankstown.

Eta Carina - 60 x 30s ISO 1600, 10 darks, 5 offsets, no flats (still building my lightbox), unguided (couldn't get mu webcam working last night - ggrrrr)
Omega Centauri - 20 x 15s ISO 1600, 10 darks, 5 offsets, not flats, unguided.

All photo's stacked and aligned in DeepSky Stacker and processed in Photoshop CS2 and Noiseware Community Edition.

Wonderful shots there, I am amazed at what can be done with lots of short exposures. Beautiful colour on EC and nice detail in both pics.
Very nice

What scope / camera were you using?

Great shots. The Eta Carina shot nice and red, as if taken with a modded camera
